Quality of number 8, being in an alert state, ready for action

This are the astrological aspects based on the number 8:

• semisquare (or octile), 45º
• sesquicuadrate (or trioctile), 135º

The semisquare aspect (harmonic 8) belongs to the family of tense aspects, which derive from the division of the circle (360º) by the number 2, as the opposition (harmonic 2) and the square (harmonic 4). 

However, among the multiple ways in which the number 8 can be decomposed, the one that best allows to understand its meaning is 4 * 2, because it shows the tension and effort of number 4 (square) with the opposition and blocking of the number 2 (opposition).

The semi-square (or octile) aspect is related with the effort of sustained attention, which allows you to be ready to initiate an action at any time, in response to the stimuli of the environment (for example, when a traffic light is about to turn green)

The sesquicuadrate (or trioctile) aspect [135º = 3 * 45º] combines the alert states of number 8 with the automatic processes of number 3. It is related with the same conscious effort of the semi-square (or octil), but while an action is running. In this way, sustained attention is directed to the stimuli of the environment to be ready to interrupt the ongoing activity at any time (for example, when a traffic light is about to turn red).

Like all tense aspects, in the long run, it causes fatigue and exhaustion.

Quality of number 1, spontaneous activation and forward impulse

This is the astrological aspect based on the number 1:

• conjunction, 360º  (= 0º)
  

The conjunction aspect (harmonic 1) belongs to any family of aspects, which derive from the division of the circle (360º) by prime numbers. That is, it is a neutral aspect --or wild card-- that activates --and becomes activated-- with any other type of aspect, as if it were part of that family of aspects.

The conjunction aspect is related with spontaneous activation and forward impulse, in an autonomously way and undisturbed in the face of external interference. It is a very energetic aspect, like when the jet engines of a plane are started and it begins to move forward with great strength.

The latitude and declination angle of the star Zaniah [etVir] form aspects of conjunction (orb 1º22 'and 0º40', respectively). 

Kate Winslet, actress of the movie "Titanic" (1997), "The Life of David Gale" (2002) and "Divergent" (2014), has the Sun-Moon-Pluto conjunction in the Ascendant (2nd Moon-Node House).
